    Dear Julie:

    My publisher, Inner Traditions International, is releasing my next book titled “Teachings of the Santeria Gods” on August 15th. It is a collection of short stories based on Afro-Cuban (Santeria/Lucumi) myths. I “think” you do book reviews for suite101.com, and if you do would love to send you a copy for your review.

    Also, I’m going on a “blog-tour” and was hoping you’d be interested in hosting me on my virtual tour.

    Please email me privately at BStuartMyers@gmail.com at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you:
    Stuart Myers (Ochani Lele)

    Hi, Ms. Burtinshaw,

    I have a new Alternate Reality News Service book in print called WHAT WERE ONCE MIRACLES ARE NOW CHILDREN’S TOYS. The book is basically comic science fiction; however, because it grew out of my Web site of political and social satire, LES PAGES AUX FOLLES, there is also a satirical edge to much of the writing in it. It unfolds as a series of faux news articles, although the concept has grown to include two advice columns (Ask Amritsar and Ask the Tech Answer Guy) and even obituaries (Lives Unlived). Then, there are the pieces that are hard to describe…

    I would like to send you additional information, including a press release, in the hopes that you might be interested in assigning the book for review on Suite 101.com. Unfortunately, the form does not allow attachments; would you be so kind as to send me your email so that I may send you the press release?

    Thanks,
    Ira Nayman

    Hello!
    This may seem like a fragile link, but we met on a trip to Cuba on a day trip to Havana. We had a drink at that little restaurant before heading to the Tropicana. If you remember I will be thriled – if you don’t I won’t be surprised at all…
    You mentioned Suite 101 to me then, and I finally decided to apply to be a writer. I am still the city editor at the Saskatoon StarPhoenix and a regular music reviewer, but I thought this would be a good way for me to stretch my writing limbs.
    Just wanted to say hello. I hope and your husband are doing well.

      That’s amazing and I have a vague recollection of this! Definitely visit suite101.com and hit the “freelance writing jobs’ icon in the top right hand corner. Suite is a great place to learn about how to write for the web and we are always on the lookout for reviewers from print media. We have a large music section too!

      I hope all is also well with you,
      Julie

    Hello Mrs. Burtinshaw,
    I am a high school student (grade 11), currently studying in Canada. I have just finished reading ‘The Perfect cut’. I really wanted to appreciate for your novel that revealed the unknown side of human nature to the world. I was also a ‘cutter’just like the main character and I thought that it was normal to do so. However, the novel made me realize the hazards and outcome of it. I really admired every single word that described his feeling. I have never written to any author but I thought I definitely have to write to you.

    Hi Julie,

    For some reason my LiveJournal account won’t let post comments to your laneway blog any more, eventhough it let the first one through under ‘prettypretty’.

    Let’s just say livejournal’s handling of inactive user names is a load of a$$ .

    One tip from a design point is accessibility, we went with raised electrical and data outlets and extra grab bars in the shower. If you’re going to use it may as well put extra touches in that makes it ‘yours’. But that being said custom = $$$.

    Am not a very good blogger but would be more than willing to try and help with questions you may have.

    And yes we’re in Van, too. Eastside, Represent! =P

    We’ve also spotted a couple of other lwhs going up near where we are in various stages of completion and contrasting construction styles.

    It’s truly exciting, isn’t it? Just you wait till ground breaking starts!

    Cheers,
    Allan

    There’s something I don’t understand. Why are you using “Lanecraft” while “Chateau Homes in Richmond” not only designs but also builds the house and more?
